ASPINWALL NOTARIAL EECOEDS. 



This volume contains the notarial records of William 
Aspinwall, Recorder of the Suffolk County Court from 
November 13, 1644, until October J|, 1651. 

He was the second to hold the office, the first 
being Stephen Winthrop, the fourth son of Gov. 
John Winthrop, who was Recorder from September 
9, 1639 (being appointed by order of the General Court), 
until the choice of William Aspinwall, November 
13, 1644, at a General Court of Election. 

The following account of William Aspinwall was 
compiled by the late John T. Hassam, and forms 
part of the introduction to Liber X. of Suffolk Deeds, 
and by whose kind permission it is here republished. 

It should be borne in mind that, according to the 
Julian calendar, which was in use at the time, the 
legal year began on the 25th of March, so that the date 
of the first entry in the records is November 20, 1644.

1644-1651. 

William Aspinwall probably came in the fleet with 
Governor Winthrop. He was of Charlestown^ in 1630,

ii Introduction. 

Auo-ust 27, 1030. His wife Elizabeth was the six- 
teenth in that list. He was the second in the list of 
thirteen who remained inhabitants in Charlestown in 
1630. September 28, 1630, he was one of the jury 
impanelled to inquire concerning the death at " M"" 
Cradocks plantacon " of Austin Bratcher.^ He took 
the oath of freeman - April 3, 1632. 

He was one of the Selectmen of Boston ^ in 1636 
and 1637, and was chosen deputy to the General 
Court ^ in 1637 in place of Sir Henry Yane ; but as 
he was a supporter of "Wheelwright in the " Antino- 
mian Controversy," '" and had signed a remonstrance 
in his favor, the Court deposed him from member- 
ship by the following order,'' passed I^ovember 2, 
1637: — 

" M"" William Aspinwall being questioned in regard his 
hand was to a petition or remonstrance, & he iustified the 
same, maintaining it to bee lawtuli ; the Court did discharge 
him from l)eing a member thereof." 

By the following order ^ of the same date he was 
disfranchised and banished : — 

"M"" Willi: Aspinwall being convented for haveing his 
hand to a petition or remonstrance, being a seditious libell, 
& iustitiing the same, for w'''^ & for his insolent & turbulent 
carriage, hee is disfranchized & banished, puting in sureties 
for his departure l)cfore the end of the first month next 
ensuing.

errors " by the " opinions & revelations of M"" Wheele- 
wright & M" Hntchinson," he was disarmed by an 
order ^ of the General Court of IN'ovember 20, 1637. 

With others of " y" opinionists," thns disarmed, 
disfranchised, and banished, he joined in the move- 
ment to fonnd a new colony in Rhode Island, and he 
was one of those who, on the 7th day of the 1st 
month, 1638, " solemnly in the presence of Jehovah," 
incorporated themselves "into a Bodie Politick"^ 
signing the compact at Portsmonth, Rhode Island. 
He was the first Secretary of the infant Colony. 

But his life in Rhode Island was not destined to be 
a peaceful one, as the following order,^ passed 7^'' 12""° 
1638-9, shows: — 

"Mr. Aspiuwall being a suspected person for sedition 
against the State, it was thought meet that a stay of the 
building of his Bote should be made ; whereupon y work- 
man was forl)idden to proceed any further." 

And on the 28'*^ 2"° 1639, his shallop was attached 
for debt.* 

He was in Connecticut in 1642, and was a witness 
in the case of George Spencer '" at a General Court 
held at New Haven, March 2, 1641-2. 

At a General Court held at Boston, October 7, 
1641, the following order *^ was passed: — 

"Willi: Aspinwall hath a safe conduct granted him to 
come & satisly the counsell, &, if they thinke meete, to stay 
till the Generall Court ; if not, hee is to depart till the 
Generall Court, & then hee hath liberty to come to the 
Gen'-all Court."

iv Introduction. 

At a General Court held at Boston May 20, 1G42, 
the followmg order ^ was jiassed: — 

" Williiim Aspinwall, u])()n his petition tc cirtifficat of his 
ofood carriage, is restored againe to his former Hlierty S:. 
freedome." 

Governor Winthrop,' under date of March 27, 1642, 
gives this account of it: — 

"Mr, William Aspenwall, who had been banished, as is 
before declared, for joining with Mr. Wheelwright, being 
licensed bj' tlie general court to come and tender his sub- 
mission, &c was this day reconciled to the church of Boston. 
He made a very free and full acknowledgment of his errour 
and seducement, and that with much detestation of his sin. 
The like he did after, before the magistrates, who were 
appointed 1)y the court to take his submission, and upon 
their certificate thereof at the next general court, his sentence 
of banishment was released." 

Having made his peace with the Massachusetts 
authorities, his advancement was rapid. At a Genei'al 
Court of Election held in Boston, September 7, 1643, — 

"M'' Willi: Aspinwall is appointed clarke of the writts for 
Boston." 3 

At a General Court of Election held in Boston, 
N^ovember 13, 1644, — 

" M"". Aspinwall is chosen Recorder till y" next Co""t of 
Election ; " * 

and on the same day — 

"It is ordered, y' M'" Willi: Aspinwall shalbe a publique 
notary for this iurisdiction." ^

He joined the Artillery Company ^ in 1643. 

The merchants of Boston, attempting to secure a 
monopoly of the Indian trade, procm^ed a charter from 
the General Court.- This was granted Mai-ch 7, 
1643-4, in answer to the petition of William AsjDin- 
wall and six others. Governor Winthrop's account 
is as follows : — 

" Divers of the merchants of Boston being desirous to dis- 
cover the great lake, supposing it to lie in the north west 
part of our patent, and finding that the great trade of l)eaver 
which came to all the eastern and southern parts, came from 
thence, petitioned the court to be a company for that desio-n, 
and to have the trade which they should discover, to them- 
selves for twenty-one years. The court was very unwilling 
to grant any monopoly, but perceiving that without it they 
would not proceed, granted their desire ; whereupon, having 
also commission granted them under the public seal, and let- 
ters from the governour to the Dutch and Swedish gover- 
nours, they sent out a pinnace well manned and furnished with 
provisions and trading stuff, which was to sail up Delaware 
river so high as they could go, and then some of the com.- 
pany, under the conduct of Mr. William Aspenwall, a good 
artist, and one who had been in those parts, to pass by small 
skiffs or canoes up the river so far as they could." ^ 

But Aspinwall and his party were not allowed to 
penetrate to the beaver country, the Swedes firing 
upon them and the Dutch higher up the river refusing 
to allow them to pass.^ 

But more troubles were in store for him, for at the 
second session of the General Court held at Boston 
October 14, 1651, the following order ^ was passed: — 

"In answer to the pcticon of John Butten, Benja Ward, 
Thomas Matson, Willjam Ludkin, and others of a jury 
appointed to serve in the last County Court held at Boston,

(most vn worthy I confesse) yet if ever occasion should be ; 
be pleased to be tender of yo'" officers especially of their 
names & creditt & suffer them not to be objects of publick 
scorne & reproach. If they be godly or ingenuous an 
admonition or checke may suffice to redresse any thing- 
weakly & foolishly done, but if they grow corrupt through 
bribes or otherwise vnfaithfull to theire trust, justice will 
require it to make them exemplary, ffor my selfe I haue 
little to say (being conscious of many weake & feeble pas- 
sadges) only this, I haue desired to be faithfuU, & my aime 
hath beene the Hono"" of God & his vice-gerents, the publick 
good of the Country, & private of pticular psons. In refer- 
ence to yo"" late order giue me leave I beseech yo"' w^''out 
offence to giue yo'^ an Account why I haue not delivered the 
bookes vnto the Secretary, but rather voluntarily chosen to 
leave them w"' M"" Cotton. 

" 1. They are no publick Records, as I take it, nor can be ; 
but privat Records of my owne Acts, of w'^" I could not 
otherwise be able at any time to giue Account, nor be able 
to discerne any corruption or adulteration that possil)ly might 
be foisted in after the writeings passe my hand, f[or] w'^'' 
ends I thought it necessary to keepe such a Register. And 
I wanted not the advice of him herein, whom yo''' all will 
owne as a Nursing father to this Colonic whilst he lived. 

" 2"'"y Vnles it were the practise of other Nations so to 
doe, w°'' I believe it is not, according to that intelligence I 
haue had, it will reflect some imputation or suspition of 
vntaithfulnes vppon me to take them away l)y an order ; & 
that will weaken the Credit of the bookes themselves or any 
thing to be taken out of them, flbr such as is the Credit of 
the pson, such wilbe the creditt of his acts & bookes, & that 
is the Reason why the State & Goverment dde putt credit 
vppon the pson, by designeing him to such a Comon service, 
& therefore as they are carefull to choose such psons for that 
purpose as are qualifyed, & have variety of tongues (at least 
the Latin tongue) so specially they doe take care (or should) 
that they be faithfull, in whose truth men may confide. 

"3''' It would be prejudiciall both to my selfe, & all 
therein concerned to take them away, ffor no man can 
safely & effectually attest any thing out of my privat write- 
ings but my selfe, nor shall I be able to attest any thing 
when my bookes are taken away.

not w"V)ut advice of some that knew the practise & custome 
of other places to take my bookes w"' mee, concluding this 
w^'' my selfe, that as I haue beene & am, so through the help 
of Christ I shall remaine cordially aflected & tenderly carefull 
of the good & welfare of his Israel as any opportunity of 
Providence shall present. But lest I should be grievous or 
otfensiue to yo"' whom I louc and honour, I haue determined 
to leave them in the hands of M' Cotton, vppon promise of 
the Speciall Court, & confidence of yo' approbation, that there 
they shall remaine vntill yo'"" may vuderstand from M'' W^inslow 
what is vsuall to be done in such cases of death or removal

ends are attained, that any who haue occasion may haue 
copies of any writeing by M!" Rawson, if he please hither to 
repaire, or if yo''' judge it vseful and necessary, yo''' may ap- 
point them to be transserilied & returne me mine if advise so

EECOEDS EELATING TO THE EAELY HISTOET 
or BOSTON 

{Formerly called Record Commissioners'' Reports) 



This volume, which is the thirty-second in the series of Bos- 
ton Records, contains the notarial records of William Aspinwall 
from 1644 to 1651 inclusive. The work was commenced by 
)William H, Whitmore, Esq., late Registrar of Boston, and com- 
pleted with the valuable assistance of Mr. Walter K. Watkins, 
the well-known genealogist.

Library of the Boston Athen.eum, 

Boston, February, 3, 1903. 

My dear Mk. McGlenen : 

On November 13, 1854, the Trustees of the Athenaeum passed 
a vote of thanks to E. Price Greenleaf, Esq., for his gift to the 
Library of twenty-nine vahxable historical manuscripts. No list 
of these can be found, but the collection probably included the 
Aspinwall Notarial Book, which was given by him, as shown 
by the book-plate, the notarial records of Samuel Tyley (April 
2, 1731, to February 28, 1743-4), of Ezekiel Goldthwait (Decem- 
ber 2, 1748, to March 11, 1754), and of Goldthwait's cousin 
Ezekiel Price (June 1, 1754, to April 25, 1775, and irregularly 
to August 22, 1780). They were inherited by Mr. Greenleaf 
from his grandfather, Hon. Ezekiel Price. ^ 

Price was a patriotic public man, a shipping and insurance 
broker, and notary, whose office afforded a meeting place for 
the prominent men of Boston for half a century. Public and 
private records, brought together in those unsettled times, 
would there find a convenient resting place either for tem- 
porary use or for jDermanent preservation ; in days past officials 
upon their retirement not infrequently carried their manuscript 
records with them.^ Price acquired many papers while notary 
public, a justice of the peace, and a selectman of Boston, but 
especially as confidential secretary to Governors Shirley, Pow- 
nal, and Bernard, as deputy for the Vice- Admiralty Court, and 
as Clerk of the Courts of Sessions and of Common Pleas for 
Suffolk County. From time to time he gave manuscripts to the 
Massachusetts Historical Society, of which he was a member; 
he also republished a sermon on his great grandfather, Ezekiel 
Cheever, the schoolmaster, and in other ways showed an interest 
in antiquarian matters. At his death, in 1802, his " small library 
of books " was left by will to be divided equally between liis 
grandsons, Thomas and Ezekiel Price Greenleaf. (Suffolk Wills,

Lib. C, Sol ). His manuscripts probably fell to Price Greenleaf 
upon the fulfilment of this provision of the will. 

It is at present impossible to trace the history of the Aspin- 
wall Notarial Book before it came into Price's hands. Aspinwall 
himself referred to it in 1650 (Book of Possessions, p. 54) as " my 
notaries booke." In a letter addressed to the General Court in 
1052, Aspinwall said that he intended to leave his records with 
Mr. Cotton, "vhtill yo^^ may vnderstand from M'Winslow what 
is vsuall to be done in such cases of death or removal of Notary 
into another Country." In a postscript he stated his willingness 
to turn over his records (although "no publick Records, as I 
take it, nor can be, but privat Records of my owne Acts") to 
be kept by Mr. Rawson, then Recorder for the County of 
Suffolk. A spin wall's Book of Possessions was described as in 
the Secretary's office in 1670 (Suffolk Deeds, Lib. VII., 156), and 
in the Recorder's office in 1672 (Boston Record Comm. Reports, 
II., 161), but no mention is made of this First Notary's Book in 
the early Suffolk deeds; a third volume (see Suffolk Deeds, 
Lib. VIII., 187) and what appears to be a second volume (ibid., 
Lib. III., 45a) are there referred to. It would seem, therefore, 
that this record kept by Aspinwall remained in private keeping, 
and passed from hand to hand until Pxice received it.^ 

Tlie book itself, by an outside measurement, is lOf inches 
high, 8^ inches wide, and 2J inches in thickness. Tlie leather 
covers have three tooled lines near the edges and a diamond 
shaped ornament of gilt in the centre. Near the top in black 
are the letters "The Notaries first book Of Records." On the 
first page the autograph " Willm Aspinwall " occurs three times, 
twice followed by "Notr Publ." The paper has a watermark,- and 
if the design becomes a subject of study, we nuiy at some future 
time learn whence came the sheets on which Aspinwall kept 
his records. 

Very truly yours, 

Charles Kkowles Bolton.

1 1 f T yley obtained it in 1731 from some earlier notary, it may liave passed to Goldth- 
Wiiit and from liim to Price. Price's great uncle, Rev. Samuel Clieever, married Rutli 
Anjrier, and William Aspinwall's daughter Hannah married John A-ngier, but these 
facts throw no light on the history of the book. , 

*The watermark, which is armorial, may be thus described: On a shield sur- 
mounted by a crown, quai-terly 1st and 4tli, three auticjue crowns, 2 and 1; 2d and 3d, 
a lion rampant ; and over all an escutcheon charged with what appears to be a quiver.

8. (10) 1645 M^ Willoughbyes answer to M^ Bourne 
as followeth. Whereas Francis Willoughby made a ptest 
against John Bourne & the Owners of the shipp Indevo^ 
for not being ready to set sayle by dayes limited & whereas 
the said John Bourne made a protest against the said Francis 
Willoughby he not being ready, The said Willoughby as the 
grounds of his protest & in answer to the said Bournes pro- 
test saitli as followeth That whereas the ship Indeavo', 
ought to have beene ready to take in goods by Charter party 
twelve dayes after her arrivall here, w"^ should have beene 
on the day of July, the said shipp was not Delivered of 

those goods she brought from England in that time: & when 
the said Willoughby uppon the same day sent goods aboard 
as by Charter party he was bound, the goods would not be 
taken in but were sent on shoare aofaine, to the damadsre of 
M"" John Taylo"" the mercli\ there being neither M"" nor M'^^ 
mate nor any ofificer to cause them to be taken in. & at that 
time there not belonging to the said shipp sixe men ; & when 
& afterwards there was goods brought aboard, they were faine 
to lye at the shipp syde for want of men to take thean in, & 
when taken in, they were faine to lye for men to stowe them, 
there not belonging to the shipp above ten or fourteeiie men 
at most: sometime the master professing to me he had not fy ve 
men ; so that besides the length of time in stoweiug the 



AspiNWALL Notarial Records. 13 

goods, there was not a spare man to doe anything to her 
rigging till she was neere laden, so that the ground of 
the shipps not being laden in time limited was no fault of the 
said willoughbyes but for want of men according to Charter 
party : And whereas the said Bourne in his answer said, that 
the shipp set sail the next day after the Protest, the said 
willoughby, doth acknowledge the same : but the said wil- 
loughby saith the said Bourne did it on purpose thinking to 
save himself e cleare : when that he had not all his P vision 
on board of beere and bread and fish till the sixth of Septem- 
ber, and when it was done he lay till the nienth before he set 
saile, his Owners goeing downe either to feast or reckon and 
make over their Accounts on the eighth day. And whereas 
he saith, shipps use to have fourty eight houres to wood 
and water, the said willoughby saith, the shipp was laden com- 
pleatly before the said willoughby protested : And whereas 
he saith, the Bills of lading were not Psented till the Dayes 
were out, the said Willoughby could not take the bills till the 
shipp was laden, and the shipp was not laden till the dayes 
were out, but the ground was not in the said willoughby as 
the reasons above make it evident. This is the true answer 
which the said willoughby Psented to me in writeing with 
his owne hand the day and yeare above written. /

nothing concerning my children w*'^ is a great grief e unto

newes from them, w*^^ is a great griefe unto mee, & I am 
afraid that they are not well because it pleased God to take 
away my Brother out of this world before they were able to

that they be not so looked unto as if it had pleased Almighty

berry bancke in Paskatq River. 

This Bill did I the said Notary : present to the s** Samp-

ceived tres of advise from John Thompson of the same date, 
but no advice about the s^ Bill & therefore would not accept 
thereof, whereuppon I the s*^ Not. did then in the name of 
the s*^ W™ Paine protest against the s'^ John Thompson who 
drew the s-' Bill, as also against the said Sampson Lane for 
not accepting thereof, for all damages & losses w*^*^ the s*^

Auditors, viz', M*" Duncan Auditor Generall, M^' Allen & 
M'' Addington to examine the Ships accounts &c., & to cer- 
tifie the Court. 

The returne accordingly was made as followeth, vizS that 
there was due to the s'^ Master Robert Risbie one hundred &

granted against the said Risbie & Gainer & the said

Major Sedgwick's Answer. — In answ' to a protest made 
by M'' Clarke for non performance of a bill of Exchange w'"^ 
was for 200 Kint fish charged p M"" Robt Houghton uppon 
mee, I answer thus. When I came to the He of Shoales 
about the 12*^ of June 1649 I tould M' Clarke I would sa1> 
isfy & pay the 200 Kint of fish according to the contents 
thereof. And also knowing that there was fish due to him 
from others that I was jointly ingaged for, I tould him, what 
ever came of it, the first fish I put on boaixl should bee in 
consideration of this bill, w°^ he pmised to accept of in that 
consideration. Now I haveing laded fish uppon severall 
accounts uppon the shipp M'' Clark was in, when I came to 
account, I first demanded up the s*^ bill of 200 Kint, w*^*^ hee 
denyed, and would not let me have it, but forced me to dis- 
count the s^ 200 Kintalls upon another Account volens 
nolens, at that place, there being no power to compell. 

I also attested a Copie of the protest.

sett saile from Gravesend towards New Engl, uppon the 
10*^ of March 1649 according to pmise, nor till nienteene 
dayes after, to wit, the nien & twentieth of the same. 
Secondly that he did not take into his ship all the goods of 
the s*^ Lun according to pmise, notw*''standing he tooke in 
other merch*^ goods to whom he was not ingaged when first 
he pmised the s'* Thomas Lun to take in his goods, by reason 
whereof the s*^ Tho. Lunne hath wanted time to pvide his 
Complem* of fish, & for want of his s"^ goods hath lost the 
opportunity of his Market. Uppon w''*' grounds & reasons 
& at the request of the s*^ Tho. Limne, I the Notary afore-

that he was (in the M°. of Aug. i es . o .tie^^ constrained to psecute 
a suit against the afores*^^ Isaac Addington at the Court then 
held at Boston in N: Engl, for the recovering of what (he

followeth. ffirst to severall untruths therein contained, he 
saith, he to wit M"" Jarvis knew of the voyage to Malaga from 
London, the s*^ John Jarvis being then there : & also the s*^ 
Jarvis knew of this last voyage to the Canaries & therefore 
should have spoken truth in his ptest. ffurther the s'^ Atf^ 
answ'^eth, that it is untrue that he hath beene put of from 



354 AspiNWALL Notarial Records. 

Court to Court as the Records of the Court will declare, the 
Action being but entred in July & through his owne default 
not issued, when M"" Addington attended uppon the issue 
thereof. And this Court hath fully heard the Cause, & on 
the seventeenth of this instant are to give in theire Judgm* in 
the Case. It is also untrue that he saith he desired to ob- 
taine a true Account & could not: for M' Addington & Edw. 
Bendall his Atturney 

[Page 318.] 

tendred to M'' Jarvis to refer the Accounts to able men, both 
before the Court & since, as the Atturney affirmeth. 

2^y. Secondly to the Substance of M"" Jarvis Allegation, 
he answ'^eth, that M"' Addington long since in London & now 
againe in Court hath rendered him a true Acc°. of the Vir- 
ginia Voyage, w*^^ is all the Account that is due to him. ffor 
it appeared by Capt John Leveretts testimonie & sundry 
other circumstances (as that he neither tooke any care for 
fitting her out to sea, nor ptested against the Malaga Voyage 
though he knew thereof, & that M"" Jarvis himself confessed 
in Court, uppon certaine termes to have given order to the 
m' for sale of the ship) that the s*^ John JaiVis had sould his 
former interest, & himselfe saith in the begining of his protest, 
that London was the Port of M"" Addingtons discharge from 
the ship, & there J\P' Addington gave him an Acc°. under his 
his hand, the very same w'^'' hath now done & proved in 
Court: These are the answ""* w''^ at present the Atturney 
gave, leaveing it to M"" Addington uppon knowledge of the 
same to returne more plenary answers. Thus done & passed

Before mee W'" As pin wall No* & Tab: publ by Authority 
of the Gener^ Coui't of the Massachusetts admitted & sworne, 
psonally appeared John Jarvis merch*. &, presented me this 
writing as followeth to declare unto Edw. Bendall Atf to 
M'' Isaac Addington & to receive his answ', w*^^^ accordingly 
I did, The contents followe. 

A reply to the prevaricating answer of Edw. 
Bendall unto a ptest against Isaac Addington 
& Capt John Leveret. 

1. Whereas Edward Bendall answereth unto the ptest 
afores*^ as to imtruths, & saith in the first place, that John 
Jarvis knew of the voyage from London to Malago, as also 
(as he saith) of this last voyage to the Canaries; In answ"" 
to w*''' as touching the first voyage from London to Malago, 
as also her last voyage, as in the protest expressed, to the 
Canaries, John Jarvis saith they were both w^^out his con- 
sent or privity thereunto, therefore he speaketh truth in his 
ptest. 

2. Whereas Edward Bendall saith that it is untrue that 
John Jarvis hath beene put of from Court to Court as the 
Records of the Court (as he saith) will declare. To w'^^ I 
answer that sufficient testimony wilbe pduced to the con- 
trary, as also from records of the Court, to prove what John 
Jarvis in his ptest hath spoken to be true & what Edward 
Bendall hath said to be untrue. 

3. Whereas Edward Bendall answereth that John Jarvis 
desired to obtaine a true Account from Isaac 

[Page 327.] 

Addington & could not (as John Jarvis yet affirmeth) 
whereas the s*^ Edw: Bendall saith that Isaac Addington 
long since in London & now here in Court hath rendred him 



364 AsPIN^YALL Notarial Records. 

a true Acc°. of the Virginia voyage, w*=^ is untrue, for the 
Accounts p''seuted in London as also here are not true nor 
just as will evidently be made so to appeare. 

4. Whereas Edw. Bendall saith that the Acc°. of the 
Virginia voyage was all the Accounts that were due unto 
John Jarvis, the w*^** is false & untrue, for John Jarvis ought 
to have had an Acc°. of his third of the ship in case shee 
were any wayes sould, as the pties uppon groundles testi- 
monies & circumstances doe alledge. 

5. Whereas Edw. Bendall saith, that John Jarvis tooke 
no care for fitting of her out to sea, it will appeare that Isaac 
Addington tooke up an hundd pounds for his use at Bottom- 
ary, for the w*^'' money John Jarvis hath underwritten as 
taken up by Isaac Addington for the use of his third pt of 
the Unicorne. 

6. Whereas Edw. Bendall saith that by vertue of an 
order given the M"" for sale of the shipp, that John Jarvis 
had sould his interest in her, it is false & untrue, ffor John 
Jarvis never assented to any such sale as they say they had 
made of her. 

7. Whereas Ed: Bendall saith that John Jarvis saith in 
the begining of his ptest that London was the Port of M"" 
Addingtons discharge from the shipp, it is also false & 
untrue, for the s*^ John Jarvis there declareth that London 
was the port of his discharge, that is, of the voyage from 
Virginia, & there he was to give a true & just account, unto 
his owners, w*^^ he hath not done, as it will evidently be made 
so to appeare. 

8. Whereas Edw. Bendall saith that at London M" 
Addington gave John Jarvis an Account under his hand, 
the very same w°^ he hath now done, & proved in Court as 
he saith, Although the Accounts given by him in London 
w*^'^ proved here to be his, w^** Accounts are not true & just: 
all w'^'* will evidently be made to appeare. 

Edw. Bendalls Answer followeth. 

1. To the article he saith, M"^ Addingtons designe for 
Malago was publickly spoken of uppon the Exchange & 
therefore unlike M"^ Jarvis should be ignorant. 
Besides M"^ Jarvis in his 5^^ Article saith he underwritt for 
Bottomary for his pt of the shipp, & therefore could not be 
ignorant: But he doubts of the truth of such underwriteing 
vnles padventure he writ that he never meant to pay. 
And for the voyage to Canaries it was publickly knowne 
throughout the towne & therefore M"^ Jarvis could not be 
ignorant as he pretends. 



AspiNWALL Notarial Records. 365 

2. To the 2''. he saith, that the Records will evince that 
M"" Addingtoii & Capt Leveret were not the cause of his 
putting of from Court to Court (as the ptest imports) but 
M"" Jarvis him selfe was the cause. 

3. To the 3"* he saith. that the Acc°. as the Auditors 
brought it in, appeared to the Court & Jury to be just. 
Only the Atturney wanted his proofes to one pctr about the 
seamens wages : But since the Court one of those men came 
in, who can testify his receipt thereof. 

4. To the 4"' he saith, M"" Jarvis did not sue for his 
thud p^ of the shipp or Account of tlie same as sould by 
Isaac Addington, but for an Account of the voyages & im- 
ployments of a third pt w*''' he denyeth to be sould by any 
order of his, & therefore the Court & Jury could not find 
that w*^^ was not comprized m the Action, but if M'' Adding- 
ton have not Accounted already w*^ M' Jarvis for the said 
third pt he makes no question but he will doe it w*^ out 
trouble or suite at la we. 

5. To the 5"* he saith, no such thing was p ved in Court 
(nor that he remembers once pleaded) that M'' Jarvis under- 
writ for his p* of Bottomary in the malago voyage, nor doth 
he believe he did. 

6. To the 6"' he saith that Capt Leverett (then having a 
pt) uppon oath testified that both himselfe & M'' Jarvis 

[Page 328.] 

gave order to the M'^ to sell her & M"" Jarvis in Court 
acknowledged that he gave order to sell her though at a 
higher rate. And since the Court he understands from such 
as kuew the shipp that shee was sould to her full worth or 
more. 

7 To the 7"' he needs no Answ'. because though M' Jar- 
vis seem to deny yet at length confesseth the very words, 
only w"' an explication & gloss e that will not agree w"' the 
text. 

The Eight being pure non-sense he can give no answer to 
it.
